Pierre Meyrand (1932-1999) était un acteur français.

Biography

En 1958, il débute sa carrière au service du théâtre avec Roger Planchon au théâtre de la cité à Villeurbanne (aujourd'hui TNP-Villeurbanne). Il joue alors dans Georges Dandin et Le Bourgeois Gentillhomme de Molière, Galilée de Bertolt Brecht ou encore Les trois Mousquetaires d'Alexandre Dumas, où il incarna d'Artagnan.

En 1973, il fait la rencontre d'Arlette Téphany avec qui ils créent leur propre compagnie : Théâtre en Liberté. De 1975 à 1985, il est directeur du Théâtre de Chelles, puis, en 1985, il est nommé codirecteur du Centre dramatique national de Limoges avec Arlette, devenue son épouse.

En 1995, il acquiert une grande notoriété en obtenant le Molière du comédien pour sa mémorable interprétation d'Isodore Lechat dans Les Affaires sont les affaires d'Octave Mirbeau. Mais c'est également cette même année que le ministre de la culture de l'époque, Jacques Toubon, décide de les libérer, lui et sa femme, des responsabilités directoriales du centre dramatique national sous le prétexte d’un rapport d’inspection qui leur faisait grief « d’absence d’ouverture à des créateurs extérieurs ».

En 1997, il joue dans Les Marchands de Gloire de Marcel Pagnol (aux côtés de Michel Galabru), puis en 1999 dans Sur les sommets, le repos de Thomas Bernhard.

Il décède le 26 octobre 1999 à Brunoy, des suites d'un cancer, à l'âge de 67 ans.

The film begins in a flashback from the titular character, Antoine. We are introduced to his fixation with female hairdressers which began at a young age. The film uses flashbacks throughout and there are frequent parallels drawn with the past. Though Antoine tells Mathilde that 'the past is dead', his life is evidence that on some level the past repeats itself. As a young boy he fantasised about a hairdresser who committed suicide and as a man in his 50s he begins an affair with a hairdresser which ends after ten years in her suicide. However there are differences, Mathilde commits suicide because she is so happy she is afraid of the happiness she has found with Antoine ending.
